Carquest 85085 cut open

[JTCrowe]

Did an oil change on my 07 Ram 4.7L. OCI was 1 year and About 4,300 miles. I used a Carquest filter (thought they were made by purolator). I wanted to check for tears myself. No tearing, but it also doesn't look like a purolator. Is it a Wix?
Filter and ADBV look good. I would use this filter again, but I don't think Carquest are made in USA anymore. Who is making them now?

Carquest is now Fram, but I don't know who makes Fram filters. A quick look online says a midwestern company called Trico.

Fram makes Fram filters. Trico owns them.

I bought the filter a while back, before AAP had the new Fram filters. Is this Carquest premium, basically a Fram ultra? I drank the Koolaid, and just put on a Fram ultra, for next oci.

Some low volume odd ball filters are outsourced (not USA made, typically cartridge filters), but Fram does make the majority, mostly all the spin-ons.
